Bruins vs Terriers Notes

The Estevan Bruins look to keep their perfect record at Spectra Place in check tonight as they square off with the Yorkton Terriers.

Heading into the contest the Bruins lead the Sherwood with a 6-3 record, while Yorkton is among the four teams that are tied for second with 8 points.

The last time these two teams played was back on Sunday September 25 when the Terriers edged out the Bruins 7-5.

The Bruins will be without Austin Daae for the near future as he's been recalled by Prince George of the WHL. With the callup of Daae and last week's trade of Chris Daniels, the Bruins have 13 forwards on the team.

Expect the lines to be the same as they were on Saturday night, with some possible changes to the blueline, with Connor Milligan probably playing tonight.

I'm expecting the goaltending duties to be split between Steven Glass and Derek Tendler over the next two days, Glass was in net for the win against Weyburn on Saturday.

Yorkton heads into tonight's matchup on skid dropping their last 3 including back to back losses to their arch rivals the Melville Millionaires on the weekend.

The Bruins and Terriers will be well reacquainted with each other after this week, the two teams meet Sunday at 2:00 as apart of the SJHL Showcase.

Opening faceoff tonight is 7:30.
